(SOLVED) can't enter xorg

lakso · 2020-08-28 15:18:48

Hi, my system was working perfectly with the lts kernel, i3 and plasma. But today I tried to log in and after entering my password the screen lagged for a second, my cursor became a cross and I couldn't log in. I tryed to enter from a tty but after log in this message flashed for a fraction of a second:

    X.Org X Server 1.20.9

    X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

    Build Operating System Linux Arch Linux
    Current Operating System: Linux archlinux 5.6.60-Its
    Build Date: 25 August 2020

    Current version of pixman 0.40.0

    xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (operation not permitted)
    xrandr: output DP1 is not disconnected but has no modes
    xinit: connection to xserver lost
    Waiting for X server to shut down failed to get BO with handle -1

(There may be some typos because I'm writing from my phone.)

And I got kicked back to the login screen. I tryed going to an older timeshift snapshot but the problem persisted, I tryed updating all packages but they where up to date.

I assume the Its is a typo for lts, but is there another typo in the version number? There is no 5.6.60 LTS kernel (neither in arch or from kernel.org).

Please post your complete xorg.log, you can use a pastebin client.

I'm sorry, is this what you're asking for?

Yes, thank you. But that's from two days ago - was it failing then? That log appears to be from a successful (but short) run of X.

lakso · 2020-08-28 16:42:25

Sorry but I'm a little confused, that's the log file I have and it does say

 [    82.509] (==) Log file: "/home/lakso/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log", Time: Fri Aug 28 12:50:28 2020

Although it has the dates 26/8 and 25/8 also before.
My Xorg.1.log.old has that same dates but looks different, maybe this one is more useful?

Trilby · 2020-08-28 17:17:01

Oops, sorry, you are right, I had looked at the build date. In that case, there are no clear fatal errors and the server terminates successfully. So this is most likely not a problem with Xorg, but rather whatever client(s) you are trying to run are failing.

How do you start X? Do you use a DM, or are you running xinit/startx? If the latter, please post your xinitrc.

lakso · 2020-08-28 17:26:27

I have Plasma installed, the only configuration I added to X is a file ton configure my touchpad. Other than that is just basic xorg with nouveau and intel drivers

A client crash will rather be recorded in the journal or in coredumpctl, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … _core_dump

lakso · 2020-08-28 18:29:50

I couldn't find any coredumpctl from today, there was this plasmashell one. But I don't know how helpful it is.

seth · 2020-08-28 18:39:42

Looks like a crash-on-exit, likely unrelated.
Stupid question:

after entering my password the screen lagged for a second, my cursor became a cross and I couldn't log in

How did this pan out? Did you immediately return to the login screen or did it just stay like this?
Maybe you're selecting the wrong session type (a naked i3 would be pretty empty)

Can you log in as a different user or when moving away your ~/.config directory (just rename it to .config.old or so)

lakso · 2020-08-28 20:46:00

It completely froze, but my mouse was still working, I moved to a tty and every time I logged in as my user it froze and asked me to login again. I could enter as root tho, and access all my files.

seth · 2020-08-28 20:50:13

Do your user and root use the same shell?
Which one?
What if you move away your shell config?

lakso · 2020-08-28 21:31:28

My home user uses plasma, as for my root user I'm not sure. I tried renaming all my config files but nothing changed.

lakso · 2020-08-29 02:52:34

I solved it, I guess... I removed Plasma and installed the Lightdm greeter and now everything works perfect.

seth · 2020-08-29 05:01:57

I rather meant "script shell" (bash, zsh, etc) however this seems to have been an issue w/ plasm or the previous DM (SDDM?)
